Eaton e-locker on its way
FINALLY! eaton has released a few lockers, no more untill next month though
Still nothing for the rear ends?
I am thinking about just welding my rear end......
if the welds are good enough how much of a chance is there that there could be a problem down the road?

Turning on dry pavement or what? I don't think you will enjoy a spool on the street. I would think you would be fine with the OEM LSD rear and the Eaton upfront.

Welding rear would be a no go. In are mud trucks with about the same hp and half the tq they don't last more than a season. That is at 150 ft a weekend. So I would wait on the rear if I were you.

Do NOT weld up the spider gears, youre just asking for trouble in a 7k lb truck...
Go with a oem lsd out back, and eaton when it comes out in the front.
Cool deal though, any idea on release date or how much?
